Unreal Tournament 3 demo released

Epic have released a beta demo of Unreal Tournament 3. Powered by Unreal Engine 3, the game has been hotly anticipated for some time and looks set to push the visual envelope.

Other UE3-powered titles to launch before UT3 have been praised for their graphical quality, and UT3 looks set to continue that tradition, as Epic's latest rendering technology gets another workout.

It's not just the graphics that make a game, though, and UT3 will have to push the boat out in all other areas too if it wants to capture the fans that made other UT games so popular, fans who have maybe found other allegiances over the years as far as gameplay goes.

I have fond memories of UT2003 myself, so I'll be snagging the demo for a shot. Grab it at FileShack and your other favourite download haunts around the 'net.
